This new feature will make usage data available through the Abiquo API. The data is available from the /action/list endpoint of the Cost Usage Resource. See https://wiki.abiquo.com/api/latest/CostUsageResource.html
Time zones
In the database, the time zones are stored in UTC format. The default billing period is from day 1 of the month in UTC format.
Privileges
Access to the data will be controlled by the "ROLE_BILLS_MANAGE" privilege. The report for enterprises is also available to users of an enterprise with the "ROLE_BILLS_VIEW" privilege.
Additional configuration
The administrator can also configure some enterprise properties for use in the reports, as described in the following table.
These properties are updated once a month at the start of the billing period. So if you make a change during a billing period, it will take effect in the next billing period.
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| reseller_code | To identify a reseller in the platform |
| internal_customer_id | To identify an enterprise's contract with the platform provider |
| currency_code | By default this is "EUR" |
| conversion_factor | For example, to convert from Euros to USD, you could set a value of "1.12". |

Filters
To filter this data, you can send a "reportfilterrequestdto" object.
This request body object can contain dates to filter by. You can identify enterprises with an internal_customer_id or with links to a "reseller", "key-node" or "enterprise".
